Data Maps in SimCity, Pt.2

The third picture looks like it's during gameplay!

Yeah, one of them is SC2013.

Where's the image/URL for the explanation??

Interesting. But one problem we (and I personally) had with SimCity 4 was that the information or 'Data' was not specific enough. That would be particular notorious when building a transit system. This problem was later addressed by the NAM Team that did their best to go around the limitations of moding.

This being said, I want to point out that even SimCity 4 was lacking in accurate data and, seeing that the trend now is to oversimplify thing I feel there might be an even greater loss when information and systems are either oversimplified (he talked about power distribution which is by no means as easy as plopping a power station and see the power go through power lines) or simply not there.

You do realize that this is a gaming site, don't you? Not a construction company...
